Explore the relationship between graphic design and health in our upcoming exhibition, opening September 2017. Comprising of over 200 objects including hard-hitting posters, flashing pharmacy signs, and digital teaching aids, 'Can Graphic Design Save Your Life?' will consider the role of graphic design in constructing and communicating healthcare messages around the world and will show how graphic design has been used to persuade, to inform and to empower.

The _Albertopolis Companion_ is a collection of writings on the west London area, in 1850 a new quarter of art, design and innovation, and nicknamed to facetiously honour its co-benefactor, Prince Albert. The book, produced collaboratively by graduating students from last year’s Critical Writing in Art & Design MA at the Royal College of Art, contiains 15 pieces of writing on the area’s geography, architecture, history and cultural life with “an aerial overview and urban critiques… unexpected encounters with Mormon elders, sparring scientists, tea room spies and cursed stones,” and a foreword by architecture critic Owen Hatherley.

We are always looking for some exciting photography made in London. Street photography has never been this popular with so many people owning cameras and camera phones and the internet helping everyone raise the profile of this photographic genre. But it was very different before digital and this time I interview Stephen Gavin, a talented man who's photos have only just recently resurfaced from the 70's.

The huge, two-part audio-visual installation is the first exhibit to be shown in the Science Museum's new Media Space galleries, which opened to the public this month. Designed to bring together photographers, artists and curators to explore the relationship between photography, science, art and technology, the Media Space is a collaboration between the Science Museum and the National Media Museum in Bradford.

Pop Art Design brings together around 200 works, by over 70 artists and designers, including iconic and lesser known works by such artists as Peter Blake, Judy Chicago, Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Elaine Sturtevant, Joe Tilson and Andy Warhol and shown alongside objects by Achille Castiglioni, Charles and Ray Eames, Allen Jones, George Nelson, Gaetano Pesce and Ettore Sottsass among many other important protagonists of this period. The exhibition also presents a wealth of graphic material from posters and magazines to album sleeves, as well as film, photography and documentation of Pop interiors and architecture. Fifty years after it exploded on to the art scene, Pop Art Design paints a new picture of Pop Art – one that finally recognises the central role played by design.

The street photographer I share with you this week was a man born in Great Britain an entire century before Winogrand and Friedlander. His name was John Thomson (1837-1921) and it is known that he traveled the Far East taking photographs during much of the period between 1860-1879. When he returned to London, he began taking documentary photographs of everyday people on the streets of London. Photography during that time was a calculated and time intensive process with bulky cameras and glass plate negatives.

Last week I went along to Stories From The Fold, a mini book design conference held at the Bridewell Foundation, just off Fleet Street – a tiny London mecca for anyone interested in book design and typography. Nine speakers were squeezed into four hours – this was very much organised to be of interest to those outside the profession (like me), as well as those inside it.

We’re no ballet aficionados, but we wouldn’t usually associate drunkards, typists and factory workers with the grace and poise of the discipline. However, as these beautiful gouache painting by Tatiana Bruni show, there’s much more to ballet than tutus and swan lake, with her angular figures, bold colours and sometimes grotesquely postured characters. The paintings show costume designs for Dmitri Shostakovich’s 1931 ballet The Bolt, and are going on show at London’s Gallery for Russian Arts and Design alongside a series of period photographs.

Encouraged by the sell-out success of the first volume of 50by70, which was sold exclusively in Habitat stores, designer and editor Tim Fishlock joined forces with specialist printers PUSH to produce future volumes independently.

50by70 showcases the work of incredible artists and designers by producing large-format limited edition print portfolios, making their art affordable and accessible with an emphasis on the best production methods and materials available.

On a spring morning in 1912, a man with a tripod and a heavy camera walked out of Liverpool Street station and into the heart of London's East End, capturing the children playing with hoops and skipping ropes, the busy shoppers, the pubs, the horse-drawn delivery carts competing with lorries, the tailors promising individual garments at wholesale prices in an area famous for centuries for textile workers, a now vanished world. He then went home to his new photographic studio at Brightlingsea in Essex, and vanished from history.

Maureen Paley is pleased to announce Wolfgang Tillmans’ seventh solo show at the gallery. For the last few years Tillmans has been working on his Neue Welt project, extending his photographic study to diverse global territories while developing ways of capturing and printing his imagery with advanced digital technology. This new exhibition is both a departure from Neue Welt as well as an extension of that vision. central nervous system presents a renewed exploration into portraiture for Tillmans and focuses on a single subject throughout the show. This new collection of images has not been exhibited before and is as much an intimate portrait of a nuanced relationship as it is a portrait of Tillmans himself.

New York and London are two of the most interesting and historical places in the world, but what if you merged both cities into one mega metropolis? That's exactly what photographer Daniella Zalcmanwas hoping to do in a beautiful collection of double exposure photography that brings NYC and London together.
